When a marina’s heaviest equipment needs critical hydraulic work, taking it out of service and shipping it to a shop isn’t always an option. That’s exactly why Forklift Exchange exists.
Our field service team recently traveled to Southwest Florida to repack the lift cylinders on a 52,000 lb Wiggins Marina Bull — one of the largest and most demanding pieces of marina equipment in operation. This is the kind of job that requires deep hands-on experience with heavy marina equipment, the right tools, and the confidence to tackle it where the machine lives.
Lift cylinders are the heart of a Marina Bull’s lifting system. When seals wear out and cylinders begin to leak, the machine loses lifting capacity and reliability — and in a busy marina environment, downtime costs money and frustrates customers. Left unaddressed, a leaking cylinder can lead to much more expensive repairs down the road.
Repacking cylinders in the field on a machine of this size — 52,000 pounds — is not something most service companies are equipped or experienced enough to attempt. We can’t think of another company doing this kind of work in the field in Southwest Florida.
We specialize in marina forklift equipment — Wiggins, Hoist Taylor, and other heavy brands — and our technicians have the field experience to handle complex hydraulic repairs on-site. Whether your machine is a 10,000 lb marina forklift or a 52,000 lb Marina Bull, we bring the expertise to you.
If your marina equipment needs service anywhere in Southwest Florida or across the country, give us a call.
